In one of Harper's issues is given a very
fine illustration of Roberts celebrated paint

represents typical old-timer, with his bel.
clock, with its cords and weights carefully
secured. One OF these clocks in this gene
ration is appreciated only as rare relic.
} The suggestive name, "Doctoring Old
of the title, used for another purpose,-'Old
Time DoctOring."
We learn, through reliable source, that
oac Of the enterprising proprietary med
icine firms OF the country, has been Tor
years investigating the formulas and med
ical preparations used in the beginning OF
tits century, and even before, with a view
OF ascertaining why people In our great
! g,-andfathers' time enjoyed health and
physical vigor SO seldom found in the pres
ent generation They now think they have
that the prevailing opinion that then ex-
listed, that Mature has remedy for every
| existing disorder" was true, and acting
under this belief, our grandparents used
the common herbs and plants. Continual
trespass upon the forest domain, has made
these herbs less abundant, and has driven
them further from civilization, until they
have been discarded, as remedial agents,
because of the difficulty of obtaining them.

! ing Investigations in this direction, into the
annals of old family histories, until he has
secured some very valuable formulas, from
which his firm is now preparing medicines,
| to be sold by all druggists.
| They will, we learn, be known under the
general title Of "Warner's Log Cabin Rem
! edies.n Among these medicines will be a
''Sarsaparilla, " for the blood and liver, "Log
! Cabin Hops and Buchu Remedy" for the
+ stomach, etc, LOG Cabin Cough and Con-
sumption Remedy remedy called Scalp
inc, ~ for the hair, t'Log Cabin Extract for
| internal and external use, and an old val
| Cabin Rose Cream" Among the list is also
! a LOG Cabin Plaster and LOG Cabin
| Liver Pill"
From the number Of remedies, it will be
! seen that they do not propose to cure all
! diseases with one preparation. 1t is believed
! by many that with these remedies new
| era is to dawn upon suffering humanity, and
! that the close Of the nineteenth century will
see these roots and herbs, as compounded
under the title of Warmers Log Cabin Rem
edies, as popular as they were at its begin
ming. Although they come in the form of pro
prietary medicines, yet they viii be none the
become tired of modern doctoring and the
public has great confidence in any remedies
put up by the firm Of which H II. Warner
Is the head The people have become
suspicious of the effects of doctoring with
poisonous drugs. Few realize the injurious
effects following the prescriptions OF many
modern physicians. These effects OF poison
GUS drugs, already prominent, will become
more pronounced In coming generations.
Therefore we can cordially wish the old
fashioned new remedies the best OF success.
